Betty White still has `lust` for life

'Does desire melt away with age? I'm waiting for that day to come,' the 88-year-old said.

'I married my first husband because we wanted to sleep together. It lasted six months and we were in bed for six months.'

Discussing her second marriage to television personality Allen Ludden, the former Golden Girls star told AARP magazine, 'The secret to our marriage was enthusiasm.'

'When I knew Allen was coming home, I would freshen my makeup and put on a new blouse.'

But these days, 'I don't have a fella,' White admitted. 'But if Allen – or Robert Redford – were around, we'd have a very active sex life.'
